DMV to extend service center hours

Starting Sept. 3, the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles' five-day services centers will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday.

"Currently, our five-day centers open early on one weekday and stay open late on another," said Bureau of Field Services Director Donna Brown-Martin. Sometimes customers will show up early thinking it is an early-open day, or arrive late thinking it is a late-close day, and discover that they had the day wrong. Consistent hours will make it much easier for our customers to remember, and that is important to us."

The schedule includes 41.25 open service hours per week, per location - an increase of 1 hour and 45 minutes per week.

Many services, including vehicle registration renewal and some title services, can handled online at www.wisconsindmv.gov.
